<p>According to the Hebrew text for "Ten Commandments" it should be more accurately translated as the Ten Sayings, the Ten Statements, the <a href="#tenDeclarations" title="See footnote">Ten Declarations</a>, the Ten Words or even the Ten Things, and not technically correct as the Ten Commandments</p>
<p>
Nonetheless <b>the ten laws were inscribed by the finger of God on two tablets twice</b> (Moses brake the first set Exodus 32:19). 
The stones are called "tablets of testimony" (or "tablets of the testimony", Exodus 31:18, 32:15, 34:29) also refer to as "tablets of the covenant" 
(Exodus 34:28, Deuteronomy 4:13, 9:9,11,15; 1 Kings 8:9, 2 Chronicles 5:10, Hebrews 9:4)
</p>
The LORD God made a covenant with Israel, personally inscribed the words of the covenant on stones which act as a testimony between Israel and God.
<b>Thus the "Ten Declarations" are the terms of the covenant, the stones act as the testimony and the whole can be taken as the physical covenant.</b>
This should indicate to us the weight and the significant of this "Ten Declarations".
<blockquote>
"And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God." &nbsp;Exodus 31:18 
<p>"And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." &nbsp;Deut. 4:13</p>
<p>"When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:" &nbsp;Deut. 9:9</p>
"And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me." &nbsp;Deut. 10:4

<h4>Ten Declarations</h4>
Although we suppose to have the same scriptures, Judaism, Protestant and Catholic have came to different lists of the "Ten Declarations". 
Judaism and Protestant have all the essence of the "Ten Declarations" as told by God albeit with few difference, 
while Catholic did away with one of the commandment, the "Prohibition of Improper Worship" 2nd law
(Please note you may find on internet that some people came up with even more stranger list.)
<b>Below is what I believe to be the correct "Ten Declarations"</b>, 
you can read the <a href="#scriptureCommandments">full scripture</a> below for yourselves 
perhaps you'll rather agree with the <a href="#protestantCommandments">Protestant's version</a>.
<p>
<b>Ten Declarations explained</b>&nbsp; <span class="small">(This list is similar to Judaism, site <a href="webResource.html#jewfaq.org">Judaism 101</a></small>)</span>
<ol class="numbers">
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Belief in God</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:2 &nbsp;Deut. 5:6
  <br/>"<b>I am the LORD thy God</b>, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."
  <p>Similar verses has appeared many times in the old testament, in different forms; 
  often it's there to <b>mark the event or the subject or the action is from God, "the LORD thy God"</b>.
  </p>
  <p>
  Why ? Good question. 
  This is done to <b>symbolise in textual form</b> the Unity of God.
  In another word <b>"the LORD thy God"</b> and similar translation represent the <b>symbolic</b> Unity of God. 
  And in another word a "<b>brand name</b>" for God or the Unity of God.
  <!-- todo
  Why God needs to show himself symbolically to his creation? Click on the <a href="mysteryOfGod.html">mystery of God</a> to find out.
  -->
  </p>
  Therefore I believe <b>this verse is very important and it's a stand-alone commandment representing the Unity of God (to know God)!</b> 
  Judaism got this right.
  <ul>
  <li>"Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:<b>for I am the LORD your God</b>." &nbsp;Leviticus 25:17</li>
  <li>"Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: <b>for I am the LORD your God</b>." &nbsp;Leviticus 25:22</li>
  <li>"<b>Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.</b>" &nbsp;Deut. 6:4 &nbsp;Mark 12:29</li>
  <li>Click for more <a href="#firstLawEg" title="See footnote">example</a></li>
  </ul>
  This stand-alone commandment have deep implication:
  <b>He is the only God "I am the LORD thy God"</b> and the <b>one who will rescue us "which brought thee out of...house of bondage"</b>. 
  In order to fully understand the symbolic meaning in this 1st commandment, you'll need <b>to find him and then know him</b>.

</li>
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Prohibition of Improper Worship</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:3-6 &nbsp;Deut. 5:7-10
  <br/>"Thou shalt have no other gods before me..."
  <br/>"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, ..."
  <br/>"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them..."
  <br/>The prohibition against the worship of other (false) gods as well as 
  <br/>the prohibition of <b>improper forms of worship</b> of the one true God.
</li>
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Prohibition of Oaths</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:7 &nbsp;Deut. 5:11
  <br/>"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain."
  <br/>i.e. misuse of God's name; such as perjury, breaking or delaying the performance of vows or promises, 
  and speaking God's name or swearing unnecessarily.
</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"<b>Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.</b>" &nbsp;Exodus 20:8-11 &nbsp;Deut. 5:12-15
  <br/>As indicated this is <b>a "day"</b>, the sabbath day is the 7<sup>th</sup> day of our week which is Saturday. 
  Judaism has taken it to include all its' other festivals (i.e. all mitzvot related to shabbat, holidays, or sacred time).
</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Honour thy father and thy mother." &nbsp;Exodus 20:12 &nbsp;Deut. 5:16
  <br/>Judaism have consider this to mean respect for Teachers as well.
</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not kill." &nbsp;Exodus 20:13 &nbsp;Deut. 5:17
  <br/>This is Not about "Thou shalt not murder", clearly it write "Thou shalt Not kill." 
  e.g. even drawing a sword (a weapon of threat) has consequence!
  <p>Matthew 26:52
  <br/><span class="small">(KJV)</span> "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
  <br/><span class="small">(NIV)</span> '"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.'
  </p>
</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not commit adultery." &nbsp;Exodus 20:14 &nbsp;Deut. 5:18</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not steal." &nbsp;Exodus 20:15 &nbsp;Deut. 5:19
  <br/>Including robbery as well as various forms of theft by deception and unethical business practices. It also includes kidnapping. 
</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." &nbsp;Exodus 20:16 &nbsp;Deut. 5:20</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not covet." &nbsp;Exodus 20:17 &nbsp;Deut. 5:21</li>
</ol>
From the scripture it's clear Protestant have interpret the <b>sabbath</b> law correctly while Judaism has the right list. 
Judaism held that first five laws are for God and last five for the benefit of man. 
Protestant on the other hand got the grouping of the "Ten Declarations" right; 
they notice the <span class="commandment4God"><b>1st three laws are declarations honoring God</b></span> 
and the <span class="commandment4Men"><b>last seven declarations are for the benefit of man</b></span>. 
<br/><span class="small">(Notice the grouping of the laws <span class="commandment4God"><b>3</b></span> & 
<span class="commandment4Men"><b>7</b></span>, both numbers have significance.)</span>
</p>
<p>
Good Christian are fairly vigilant to keep the other 9 laws however almost all Christian will ignore or fail to keep the <b>sabbath</b>. 
So should Christian be keeping the sabbath? Most importantly what use does it have?

<h4>Protestant's Ten Commandments</h4>
<ol class="numbers">
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Belief in God & no other gods.</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:2-3 &nbsp;Deut. 5:6-7
  <br/>"I am the LORD thy God... Thou shalt have no other gods before me..."
  <br/>Prohibition against worshipping other (false) gods.
</li>
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Prohibition of Idolatry & Improper Worship</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:4-6 &nbsp;Deut. 5:8-10
  <br/>"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, ..."
  <br/>"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them..."
  <br/>The prohibition of <b>improper forms of worship</b> of the one true God.
</li>
<li class="commandment4God"><b>Prohibition of Oaths</b>&nbsp; Exodus 20:7 &nbsp;Deut. 5:11</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"<b>Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.</b>" &nbsp;Exodus 20:8-11 &nbsp;Deut. 5:12-15</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Honour thy father and thy mother." &nbsp;Exodus 20:12 &nbsp;Deut. 5:16</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not kill." &nbsp;Exodus 20:13 &nbsp;Deut. 5:17</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not commit adultery." &nbsp;Exodus 20:14 &nbsp;Deut. 5:18</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not steal." &nbsp;Exodus 20:15 &nbsp;Deut. 5:19</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." &nbsp;Exodus 20:16 &nbsp;Deut. 5:20</li>
<li class="commandment4Men">"Thou shalt not covet." &nbsp;Exodus 20:17 &nbsp;Deut. 5:21</li>
</ol>
<p>
The difference between Judaism & Protestant is where the 1st commandment ends and the 2nd commandment starts, 
because of this the 1st two commandments can be interpreted differently.
<br/>Nevertheless in essence Protestant's Ten Commandments concerning honoring God (1st three law) are the same as Judaism. 
The rest of the law are worded the same although as noted above "Ten Declarations" Judaism have added its' own interpretation.

</ol>
Catholic Church have split the law concerning <b>coveting (last law) into 2 laws</b>. 
The <b>law prohibiting "Idolatry & Improper Worship" is not to be found</b> (i.e. from Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10)
which is evidently been taken away or done away with (2nd law).
<p>
Some Catholic Church claimed although it is not stated in words (her Ten Commandments), this law has become part of the 1st law of believing in one God.
Nonetheless in reality this is hard to believe e.g.
<ol class="numbers">
<li>Those of the Catholic Church can <b>worship idols (pray to them)</b>, i.e. her "saints" and virgin Mary, the "mother of God"; 
  they are portraits standing for or derived from the old pagan gods; 
  In forms such as statutes, pictures, artifacts and so on.
  <p>
  In the Old Testaments the LORD God, his Holy Spirit and the inspired scripture have given us Israel as a good example. 
  It is written, such idols or "gods" are often referred to as 
  <a href="reference.html#demonsDevils" title="See Scriptural Reference">demons</a> <sup>(New International Version)</sup> 
  and <a href="reference.html#demonsDevils" title="See Scriptural Reference">devils</a> <sup>(King James Version)</sup> 
  (Leviticus 17:7, Deuteronomy 32:17, 2 Chronicles 11:15, Psalm 106:37),
  the worship act is called the "<b>abomination</b>", the group who performs this is called the "<b>harlot</b>" or "<b>prostitute</b>". 
  </p>
  <p>
  Past nation of Israel and Judah were the harlots, they performed their abomination in front of God and they were severly punished.
  </p>
</li>
<li>Catholic Church instituted many of her own tradition and festivals, which also has its root from old pagan practises. 
  They were never authorized by the Lord Jesus Christ, in his time, with his disciples, in the early churches 
  or in scripture of the Old & New Testaments.
</li>
</ol>
The suggestion also have NO Truth, if the mere play of facts is allowed, the "Truth" will cease to have truth... 
i.e. if this law isn't established in the Words of the Ten Commandments as it is written in the scriptures, 
then the transgression of that law has no effect in the court and therefore in the judgement.
Intentionally alter the Word of God is a grievous crime.
</p>

<h5 id="isOneDamnedIfGotItWrong">Is one damned if they got it wrong?</h5>
<p>Nonetheless this is NOT to say one religion is superior to the other. 
Or someone could be damned if they end up in a false religion or cult! Certainly this is NOT the case. 
The religion that God accepts as pure and faultless is the ones that look after those who are in need! (James 1:27)
If anyone bears fruits, Loves and believe in Jesus who will condemn them? Do we condemn them?
</p>
<p>
"<b>O you of little faith</b>" (Matthew 6:30, 8:26, 14:31, 16:8, 17:20; Luke 12:28)
Are we to worry of things totally out of our control?
Is it not purposed? 
Who is in authority over all things? 
Does not God allow all this to happen? 
So that our ways and intend will be displayed?
Which is Love's way, of condemnation or the way of peace?
So why should we be worried?
Believe and have faith, nothing is ever lost.
</p>
<p>Best worry about our own deeds (fruits), tongue and thoughts, on the day of judgement!
Can we surely say we are sheep or are we goat?
One's salvation does NOT hinge on religion or its' theory.
LORD hides his footstep. 
Whatever is here now He purposed. 
He gives and He takes away. 
Do we believe He does it for our own good?
God is Good; brethren believe that in your heart. 
</p>
<p>We sometime take God's Goodness, His grace & mercy and His provision for granted. 
We sometime too complain of others and of God worse than the ancient Israelite out in the desert!
The mess in the world came about, of our evil heart and freedom. 
If one is to believe in their heart God is harsh, heartless or blind to the mess, religious or otherwise in the world: meet our own measure at the judgement.
As stated in the scripture Lord will use <b>our own measure to judge</b> our deeds (fruits) and our heart, the measure we use to judge others, which includes God.
Careful then what we may accuse others (religion, group or person) of!

<h4>The 2 Great Commandments</h4>
There are ONLY two great commandments for believers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
<ol class="numbers"><b>The Two Great Commandments</b> (Mark 12:29-31, Matthew 22:36-40, Luke 10:27)
<li>The 1st is the greatest commandment
  <br/>"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."  " (Deut. 6:4, Mark 12:29)
  <br/>"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" (Deut. 6:5)
</li>
<li>The 2nd great commandment
  <br/>"Love your neighbor as yourself." (Lev. 19:18, Romans 13:9, Galatians 5:14)
</li>
</ol>
This is the summary of all the laws and prophets. (Matthew 22:40)
<p>
According to New Testament abiding in these 2 laws are NOT enough for salvation since no one can keep the commandments at all time and do NOT sin. 
Therefore the 2 commandments are measurement believers <b>make every effort to strive to</b> and their life should carries the evidence of 
the <b>fruits</b> of their repentance; 
by believing in the risen Lord Jesus Christ completes the salvation.
</p>
<p>
Believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who is sinless and died in our place but was raise back to life by God thus triumph over sin and death. 
This FAITH is the stamp of contract that rectify the covenant between the believer and God.
[NB: the covenant is the <b>covenant of our Lord's blood</b>; 
faith in Jesus sometime also referred to as faith in "His salvation" or faith in "His blood of redemption".]

<h4>New Commandment of Jesus</h4>
The Commandment of Jesus is to 
<p>"<b>Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another</b>"</p>
This commandment is directed solely on the people of God, his followers <b>to love their own; brothers & sisters in Christ</b>, 
obey his commands so remain in his love. Please note this is not the 2nd Great Commandment to love your neighbour as yourself. 
<p>
Brethren, Lord Jesus is asking us to be as one. As our Father, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one.
We must also become one. 
</p>
<p>
We become one in Love or on the foundation stone of Love we become one. 
All in all, we in Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus in us as the Father is in Lord Jesus, and Him in God.
It is a profound commandment and statement. 
</p>
<p>
The ultimate purpose is: through our unity (Love for one another), others will believe and be save.
It is the same of God: Love is exhibited between the Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit so that others will come to understanding.
Love is not confined and not inward looking.
</p>
<p>
For us this one law is the summary of the 2 Great Commandments and therefore it includes all the laws.
The followers who lived out this law will truly be considered worthy of their salvation, for they obey Jesus (God & Love) and will enter life.
Notice this special commandment can only be found in the book of John; written through the disciple Jesus loved.
</p>

<h6>Imitating Christ's Humility</h6>
<blockquote><b>Philippians 2:3-8</b>
<br/><span class="small"><b>(NIV)</b></span> 
<sup class="verseNum">3</sup> Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

<sup class="verseNum">5</sup> Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 
<sup class="verseNum">6</sup> Who, being in very nature<sup>[Or <i>in the form of</i>]</sup> God, 
    did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 
<sup class="verseNum">7</sup> but made himself nothing, 
    taking the very nature<sup>[Or <i>the form</i>]</sup> of a servant, 
    being made in human likeness. 
<sup class="verseNum">8</sup> And being found in appearance as a man, 
    he humbled himself 
    and became obedient to death - 
       even death on a cross! 
<br/><span class="small"><b>(KJV)</b></span> 
<sup class="verseNum">3</sup> Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 
<sup class="verseNum">4</sup> Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 
<sup class="verseNum">5</sup> Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 
<sup class="verseNum">6</sup> Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 
<sup class="verseNum">7</sup> But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 
<sup class="verseNum">8</sup> And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

<span class="small">[quote taken from site <a href="webResource.html#tenCommandments">Judaism 101</a>: Start]</span>
<p>But what about the so-called "<b>Ten Commandments</b>," the words recorded in Exodus 20, the words that God Himself wrote on the two stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai (Exodus 31:18), which Moses smashed upon seeing the idolatry of the golden calf (Exodus 32:19)? In the Torah, these words are never referred to as the Ten Commandments. In the Torah, they are called <b>Aseret ha-D'vareem</b> (Exodus 34:28, Deut. 4:13 and Deut. 10:4). In rabbinical texts, they are referred to as Aseret ha-Dibrot. The words d'vareem and dibrot come from the Hebrew root Dalet-Bet-Resh, meaning word, speak or thing; thus, the phrase is accurately translated as the Ten Sayings, the Ten Statements, the Ten Declarations, the Ten Words or even the Ten Things, but not as the Ten Commandments, which would be Aseret ha-Mitzvot.
